Rite in the Rain
Anyone have any experience with these? Are they worth it, or total crap? Opinions please.

If you are going to be writing in the rain on paper, they work well. Expensive though. I used them for taking notes in A'stan and never had a problem, even on the few occassions that it rained on me.
They work great for me. Never had a problem using a pencil.
I use them for field notes and dope cards.
Here in Western Oregon it's the only way to go. Their branded pens or a pencil work best.

I have one in a cargo pocket right now for work and a few of us keep one in our FD turnout gear. Even if you don't "write in the rain", they hold up well in sweaty pockets, etc.
We buy those by the thousands, they work just fine. They are great in sweaty pockets or in a cargo pocket working the range, when your water bottle spills, everything is not lost..
They cost a little more, but are well worth it the first time you get wet. Additionally, the paper is a little more "heavy duty" and withstands overall abuse pretty well.
Wish I would have gotten write in the rain for my data book...
Use them and the Rite in Rain pens all of the time. The're indispensable for me in shooting and other outdoor activities. Check out these folks.
I had a rite in the rain notebook with waterproof pages and I dropped it into a river while doing research for biology and I chased it down the river for 30 feet. Thankfully all of my handwritten notes (written in pen) were not smeared and after drying I was still able to write in it although the pages were crinkled. Pencil doesn't show up well and doesn't erase well either. Amazon has them for good prices.
